Three hot springs sources, each with its own set of rock-walled pools, await at the end of an easy one-mile hike through the ultra-lush Clearwater National Forest, home of the beautiful Clearwater River. Going nude is very much the norm here there’s a sign saying so at the trailhead. Don’t be too surprised if you encounter an opportunistic clothing-optional hiker on the way in or out! Temperatures in pool 1 vary by time of year from ice cold to boiling hot. At source 2, it’s 100-105°F for the landlocked pool, with the rest varying depending on proximity to the river. Source 3 is usually a perfect 103°F. From Powell Junction, take Highway 12 west for just over 10 miles to a large pullout marked Warm Springs Trailhead. Hike across the Warm Springs pack bridge over the Lochsa River to a fork. Take the trail west signed to Jerry Johnson Hot Springs — it leads to the first of three water sources
